REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Administrator of

Avery Dennison Corporation Employee Savings Plan:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Avery Dennison Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The supplemental schedule of delinquent participant contributions for the year ended December 31, 2014, and schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2014 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements.  The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the schedule of delinquent participant contributions and schedule of assets (held at end of year) are fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                      Summary Description of the Plan

 

The following description of the Avery Dennison Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for financial reporting purposes only. For information regarding the terms and conditions of the Plan for benefit purposes, participants should refer to the Plan document.

 

General

The Plan covers eligible U.S. employees of Avery Dennison Corporation (the “Company”), the Plan Sponsor and Plan Administrator. The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and restated (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan is a “safe harbor 401(k) plan” under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).

 

Employer Contributions

The Company contribution consists of an automatic contribution equal to three percent of an eligible employee’s eligible compensation regardless of his or her contributions to the Plan, and a matching contribution of 50 percent of the first six percent of eligible compensation that is contributed by an eligible employee each pay period.

 

An additional Company contribution feature provides an annual “true-up” contribution to ensure that participants receive the maximum Company matching contribution for which they are eligible. At the end of each year, the maximum Company matching contribution is calculated using the participant’s annualized average contribution percentage. If the participant’s actual Company matching contribution received for the year is less than the calculated maximum Company matching contribution, then the difference is deposited as a lump sum in the eligible participant’s account as soon as administratively feasible following the Plan year end.

 

Effective November 2014, Company contributions may be made in Company stock or cash, at the Company’s option. Cash contributions are invested according to participant elections on file. If contributions are made in the form of Company stock, the shares are automatically exchanged for cash, and proceeds are invested according to participant elections on file. Company contributions made prior to November 2014 were invested in the Company Unitized Stock Fund, a fund that, in addition to cash, primarily invests in Company common stock. Once the contribution was credited to a participant’s account in the form of units in the fund, a participant could elect to direct his or her units to other available investment options at any time, subject to restrictions on transfer for certain employees at certain times, in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy.

 

Participant Contributions

Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan with a six percent pre-tax contribution rate after 30 days of employment, unless the employee affirmatively elects not to participate. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into available investment options offered under the Plan. If a participant does not make an investment election for his or her contributions, the contributions are invested in the qualified default investment alternative under the Plan.

 

All participants can contribute any whole percentage (up to 100 percent) of their eligible earnings as pre-tax contributions and between one to 25 percent of their eligible earnings as after-tax contributions, in each case subject to applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) contribution limits. Participants can make one election that covers their regular pre-tax contributions and, if eligible, their catch-up contributions, subject to applicable IRS contribution limits.

 

At the start of each calendar year, participants’ contributions will default to their pre-tax contribution election on file. A pre-tax contribution election automatically switches to an after-tax contribution election (referred to as the “spillover feature”) once a participant reaches his or her IRS annual pre-tax contribution limit during a calendar year, which remains in effect for the remainder of the year. Participants have the opportunity to “opt out” of the automatic

spillover feature and stop their employee contributions once they reach the IRS annual pre-tax contribution limit for the given year.

 

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions, and earnings on all such contributions. The participant’s entire benefit from the Plan is provided from the participant’s vested account balance.

 

Stock Holding and Retirement Enhancement (“SHARE”) accounts were held under the Plan for participants who participated in the Company’s SHARE account, which merged into the Plan effective November 30, 1997. SHARE accounts held Company stock investments that participants could elect to transfer to other investment funds available under the Plan, subject to restrictions on transfer for certain employees at certain times, in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy.

 

In December 2013, the Plan was amended and restated to require participants with a SHARE account under the Plan to make a decision about their SHARE account assets during an election window in 2014. Active participants were required to make an early election about their SHARE account, which allowed them to transfer their SHARE account into the Avery Dennison Pension Plan (“ADPP”) or to leave it in the Plan. Active participants who did not elect to transfer their SHARE account into the ADPP had their retirement benefit under the ADPP offset (reduced) by the annuity equivalent of their SHARE account assets. Inactive participants with a SHARE account were previously given an opportunity to transfer their SHARE account into the ADPP when their employment terminated and were not given another opportunity to transfer their SHARE account into the ADPP in 2014. However, during the election window, they were given the opportunity to take a distribution of their SHARE account, or to leave their SHARE account in the Plan. In the fourth quarter of 2014, all participants with a SHARE account completed their elections and the existing SHARE accounts were terminated.

 

Based on participant elections, the Company transferred $21.1 million from SHARE accounts held under the Plan to the ADPP during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Rollovers

Eligible employees are permitted to make rollover contributions of eligible rollover distributions into the Plan, including direct rollovers.

 

Vesting and Forfeitures

Employee contributions and earnings thereon are immediately 100 percent vested. Company contributions and earnings thereon are 100 percent vested after two years of service. Vesting in Company contributions can occur as of an earlier date upon a participant’s death or 65th birthday or if the Plan is terminated or discontinued, provided that the participant is an employee at that time. In addition, participants who die while performing qualified military service are fully vested in their Company contributions (and earnings) under the Plan. All SHARE accounts are 100 percent vested.

 

If a participant’s employment terminates prior to vesting, all Company contributions and earnings thereon are forfeited, and may be used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan or to offset future Company contributions. The amount of forfeitures used to offset Company contributions and pay administrative expenses of the Plan was $1.6 million and $.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014. The amount of forfeitures available to pay administrative plan expenses and offset future contributions as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $.6 million and $.1 million, respectively.

 

Payment of Benefits

Participants generally receive their vested account balance when they retire or terminate employment with the Company. Participants may make hardship withdrawals, withdrawals at age 59 ½, and certain other withdrawals from specified vested accounts during their employment, subject to legal and/or Plan restrictions and requirements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants have the right, subject to certain limitations and requirements, to borrow from certain accounts. In general, loans cannot exceed 50 percent of the participant’s vested account balance at the time the loan is made and must bear reasonable interest rates commensurate with interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending money for loans made under similar circumstances. At the time that each loan is made, the interest rate is established as of the first day of each plan quarter and fixed at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published by Reuters) plus one percent. Each loan is an asset of the applicable participant’s account on the date of borrowing. The loan must be repaid within five years, unless the loan is for the purchase of a principal residence, in which case the loan term may be five, ten, or 15 years, as elected by the participant. Interest payments are credited to the applicable participant’s account.

 

Administrative Expenses

Investment management fees and certain administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, as permitted by law. All other administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

 

Plan Termination

The Company currently intends to continue the Plan. However, the Company reserves the right to change, amend, terminate or discontinue the Plan at any time, subject to applicable laws and regulations. In the event of Plan termination, each affected participant would become 100 percent vested in his or her Company contributions and all of the assets in participant accounts would be distributed to the participants (or their beneficiaries).

 

 

2.                                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on disclosures for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value (“NAV”) per share or its equivalent. Under this amendment, investments for which fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient should not be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We do not anticipate application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan’s assets are invested at participants’ discretion in various investment fund options available under the Plan. The value, liquidity, and related income of these securities are exposed to various risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit quality, and volatility with respect to the holdings within individual funds, as well as to changes in global economic conditions, including real estate values, delinquencies and defaults, and the outlook and performance of financial markets. It is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Asset Available for Benefits.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the financial statement date. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Investment Contracts

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustments for the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared using the contract value basis for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Refer to Note 4, “Investment Contracts,” for more information.

 

Valuation of Investments

Investments are reported at fair value. Refer to Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements,” for more information.

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2014 or 2013. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan Administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance would be reduced and a benefit payment would be recorded.

 

Income Recognition

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date. Interest income from other investments is accrued as earned.

 

Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are computed on an average cost basis. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments is the change in their fair value during the Plan’s fiscal year.

 

Net appreciation in the fair value of investments includes gains and losses on investments bought, sold and held during the year, and is reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

Contributions

Participant and employer contributions are recorded on an accrual basis. Employer contributions are reported net of forfeiture credits used to offset contributions.

 

Benefit Payments

All benefits are payable from net assets available for benefits. Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Subsequent Events

Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

4.                                      Investment Contracts

 

Included in the Plan’s investments is a fixed income fund that invests in fully benefit-responsive guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) issued and guaranteed by insurance companies or other financial institutions to transact all qualified participant withdrawals at a minimum of contract value (principal plus accrued interest).

 

Traditional GICs are backed by the general account of the contract issuer. The fund deposits a lump sum with the issuer and receives a guaranteed interest rate for a specified period. Synthetic GICs and the separate account GIC are backed by a segregated portfolio of bonds or units of collective funds that are owned directly by either the fund or the contract issuer. The interest crediting rate of synthetic GICs and the separate account GIC is based on the contract value, fair value, duration, and yield to maturity of the underlying portfolio. The fair value of a synthetic GIC is composed of the aggregate market values of the underlying investments and the fair value of the wrap contract. The fair value of a wrap contract for a synthetic GIC represents the difference between current market level rates for contract wrap fees and the wrap fee being charged. Refer to Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further information.

 

The Plan’s GICs and their associated wrap contracts are included in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at fair value of $121.1 million and $137.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Contract value of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts was lower than fair market value by $2.5 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value, which represents contributions plus interest earned, less benefits paid and transfers to other funds. However, if one or all of the contracts were to be terminated prior to the expiration date and the Plan’s assets withdrawn, the amount received by the Plan could be less than the contract value under the relevant provisions of the agreements. Withdrawals and transfers resulting from certain events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. These events include the following: (1) amendments to the Plan (including complete or partial Plan termination or merger with another plan); (2) competing fund transfers or violation of equity wash provisions; (3) any early retirement program, group termination, group layoff, facility closing, or similar program; (4) bankruptcy of the Company or other Company events that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan; and (5) the failure of the Plan to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. In these instances, market value would likely

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

be used to determine payouts to participants. In general, issuers may terminate the contract and settle at other than contract value due to changes in the qualification status of the company or the plan, breach of material obligations under the contract and misrepresentation by the contract holder, or failure of the underlying portfolio to conform to the pre-established investment guidelines.  At this time, the Company does not believe that the occurrence of any event that would limit the Plan’s ability to transact with participants at contract value is probable.

 

The Plan earned an average annual yield on these investment contracts of 2.04 percent for the year ended December 31, 2014. The average annual yield credited to participants was 1.87 percent for the year ended December 31, 2014. Crediting interest rates for synthetic GICs are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting and may not be less than zero percent per annum, while traditional GICs have fixed crediting rates for the terms of the contracts.

 

Refer to Note 8, “Concentration of Credit Risk,” for more information.

 

 

5.                                      Fair Value Measurements

 

Plan investments are valued based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to Level 3 measurements. Inputs to the valuation methodology for the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

Level 3

Unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

If an asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The Plan recognizes transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occur. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

 

·     Money market funds:  Valued at NAV.

 

·     Mutual funds: Valued at quoted market prices, which represent the NAV of shares held at year end.

 

·     Collective fixed income funds, collective investment trusts, and commingled trust: Valued at NAV per unit, as determined by the fund’s trustee based on the underlying securities in the trust. These investments are redeemable daily and settle within three days with no restrictions.

 

9



Table of Contents

 

AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

·      Common stock: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

 

·      Self-directed brokerage accounts: The money market fund and non interest-bearing cash are valued at NAV. Mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the NAV of shares held at year end.

 

·      Fixed income securities: Valued using bid prices; observable market inputs to determine these prices include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids and offers.

 

·      Guaranteed investment contracts:  Traditional GICs are valued using the present value of the contract’s unobservable future cash flow values discounted by comparable duration GIC Index rates. The separate account GIC is valued based on the Plan’s allotted share of the fair value of the total underlying securities in the separate account and allows for daily withdrawals.

 

·      Wrap contracts:  Valued based on hypothetical wrap fees generated by matrix pricing.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date.

Because participants transact at contract value, fair value of traditional GICs is determined annually for financial statement reporting purposes only. In determining the reasonableness of the valuation of traditional GICs, the Plan Administrator evaluates the pricing policies and methodologies and inputs used for the traditional GICs and considers various factors– including economic factors, market conditions and yield curves– for valuation purposes as of the measurement date.

 

 

6.                                      Related-Party Transactions

 

The Plan invests in shares of short-term investments and deposits managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company (“FMTC”). FMTC is the Custodian and Recordkeeper as defined by the Plan and, therefore, transactions related to these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the total market value of investments in funds managed by FMTC was $36 million and $331.5 million, respectively. The Plan participated in a revenue sharing arrangement with FMTC, which allowed the Plan to offset administrative expenses with revenue credits. Administrative expenses were reported net of $.1 million of revenue credits during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The Plan also invests in shares of Company common stock. The Company is the Plan Sponsor and Plan Administrator and, therefore, transactions related to these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the market value of investments in Company common stock was $173.7 million and $217.9 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Plan purchased and sold Company common stock totaling $36.2 million and $80.1 million, respectively.

 

 

7.                                      Tax Status

 

The Plan received a determination letter dated November 2009 from the IRS indicating that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended and restated since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan remains designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and tax-exempt. The Plan applied for a new IRS determination letter in January 2012.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

GAAP requires the Plan Administrator to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits of the Plan for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

 

 

8.                                      Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Included in the Plan’s investments for participants is a fixed income fund in which the Plan directly owns the underlying investments. The fixed income fund invests primarily in a mix of medium-term investment contracts issued by insurance companies and banks with high credit ratings, and in professionally managed portfolios of high-grade, short- and medium-term fixed income securities. Although the fund contains a diversified portfolio, the ultimate performance of the fund is dependent upon the ability of the underlying parties to honor their obligations. The Plan, under investment management agreements, has entered into wrap contracts for a portion of the fixed income fund with insurance companies or financial institutions. Under these contracts, the insurance company or financial institution aims to preserve principal and generate a fixed rate of return (interest rate floor of zero percent).

 

The Plan’s cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions may, at times, exceed federally insured limits.

 

Although the Plan may be exposed to losses in the event of nonpayment, it does not anticipate such losses.

 

 

9.                                      Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

 

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500:

The fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are recorded at fair value and adjusted to contract value in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits; these contracts are recorded at fair value on the Form 5500. As a result, unrealized gains or losses related to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are reflected in the Form 5500, but not included in “Net appreciation in the fair value of investments” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the net decrease in net assets available for benefits before plan transfers per the financial statements to the Form 5500:
